Acupuncture is a key component of ancient Chinese medicine. This alternative therapy has been effectively helping and healing a range of ailments for centuries, including headaches, joint pain, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, backache, morning sickness, peptic ulcers and much more. Very thin needles are inserted into the skin on the body’s acupuncture ‘meridians’, balancing the individual’s energy (known as ‘qi’ or ‘chi’). If your wellbeing needs a boost or you’re seeking a cure for an ongoing complaint, check out our list of experienced and reputable acupuncturists.
